Will this make hummus? A food processor won't make it creamy enough. Hummus = raw sesame seeds, oil and cooked chickpeas, consistency of nut butter.

You're using a kind of odd hummus recipe if it calls for raw, unprocessed sesame seeds. All recipes I've seen (and used several of them) call for tahini, a ground "nut butter" made from sesame seeds. Using cooked chickpeas (usually I cook my own, but you can use canned ones), tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, & cumin, our Kitchenaid food processor easily makes smooth hummus!

I made my own tamper to push the ingredients down (out of wood, with a cross bar to stop it at the level of the lid so it doesn't hit the blades). Without the tamper the solids get stuck on the wall of the jar and you have to stop it, open it, push it down with a spatula and repeat this process a number of times. With a home made tamper you can make hummus in 60 seconds.

I haven't tried making humus, but I made almond butter which which came out great. This should be similar.

I have not attempted hummus yet but now I will, can see no reason why it won't. I did ask a Lebanese chef how he got his hummus so creamy with a food processor and he told me he let the machine continually run tillIt became quite hot. I use a Kithchen Aid processor and this method has worked wonderfully for me over the last three years. I am going to try with the Breville and maybe give my processor the restIt deserves.

Never made hummus, but have had very good results combining fresh fruit/vegetables with frozen fruit, soy milk, nuts, etc., then running it on slow speed (mix) to get things well chopped, then running it on high speed (liquefy) to get a result that is too stiff to pour but smooth like pudding.

Yes. I made almond butter and chocolate. Like the first responder says, it's best to grind ingredients with a food processor or a coffee grinder first. The almond butter came out fine. When left a few days, a lot of oil came to the top.

Well, it's ground sesame seeds as you know. I think it tastes very nutty. Maybe a bit bitter? I use it to make hummus and it's awesome!

It works great for making almond butter. It comes out super creamy. I use raw almonds and do not add anything else.

The manual is inside with basic instructions and recipies.I never tried peanuts. They do have oil inside but probably not enough. It basically depend from the kind of nut you choose. If you use pine nuts of anacardi extra oil is not required. With almonds you need a lot!

Almonds are a dry nut and will not form a butter without a little fat (try coconut oil, not too much) You can use raw almonds but the roasting really brings out the nutty flavor. Without any oil you will achieve an almond paste. A food processor will make a passable butter from peanuts and cashews because even dry roasted they contain enough oil to form an emulsion. Almonds will form butter much more easily and quickly in a high-powered premium blender like a Vita-Mix or a Blendtec due to the motor speed, the shape of the container and the greater contact of the blades with the nuts.

Hi Deean, The way I make hummus is I first mix the Lior tahini pase in a blender with water, lemon juice and fresh garlic. When it reaches the right consistency, I add the chickpeas. If it is too thick, I add more water and adjust the seasoning to my taste.

Dear KH, Hemp is the best organic raw material under the sun. We have bought many packets of this brand and make and have enjoyed in a mix with milk shakes, salads or fruit juice mix. As far as I know, these seeds when cold pressed can produce a milky type liquid or oil, which you may call Hemp oil or milk. Remember that all these seeds are without the THC component, which is the key ingredient of real Hemp oil. I am not sure if you can get milk from these seeds but if you have a cold press machine or another method like Soya milk, then you can definitely try. Good luck to you and hope you will learn more about hemp.

Honey and sesame seeds. I couldn't find another halvah that didn't have fructose or other contaminants.

I'm not sure this would work for hummus. Great for salsa, chopping onions & soft veggies. Hummus seems like it would require a blender, something that this would not duplicate. Maybe, but it would be a lot of work.

Not sure what you're trying to make, but I'd say no. I put in peanuts (only), turn it on, and get peanut butter. I'm not making any additions, nor is there anyway to grind the nuts less. It is good peanut butter though.

Toasted, I think, has more flavor, so raw would be milder. Some might call it boring. The black sesame seed makes good hummus, too, and it's got a much stronger flavor, sort of like the toasted.

Dry foods that come as frozen: for example I spray my frozen french fries with butter and add some salt, and they come out to taste great! I love eating raw broccoli and spray it with some olive oil :) Kids frozen nuggets are to oily so I just placed them like that

This will definately make hummus. very close to a blender. I love this processor.

Sesame seeds have a high oil content. It is very important to stir the contents of a container from the bottom up. The solids settle in the bottom of the container and can form a very dense mass. You must incorporate the entire contents of a given container before you use it. You will see it begin to thicken during this process.

Cover beans with water, 1 to 2 inches over the beans; soak overnight. Pour into a strainer and rinse. Return to pan and cover with water, 2 to 3 inches over beans as they will expand during cooking. You can add salt if you wish. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer 60 to 90 minutes depending on how firm you want them. I like to make hummus so cook mine on the longer side. If you like a firmer bean for salads and stews, cook them around 60 minutes and check them. I also cook a larger amount, drain and dry them, put them in 2 cup serving sizes then freeze them.

Im not sure if you are asking almond milk or almond meal. It can make both. The Vita-Mix (Dry Container)is one of the best piece of equiptment to use, As you can grind as much as you need and get the consistency you want.To make almond meal/flour, process until you have the consistency you want, but be careful not to grind too much or you will make almond butter. Keep almond meal stored in the refrigerator or freezer to keep it from going rancid quickly.- See more at: http://www.cookinggodsway.com/how-to-make-almond-mealflour/#sthash.EA4cC1HI.dpuf
